Frequently Asked Questions

When will I get my refund?

If you have financial aid and it says “Authorized” next to the awards, this is an estimated amount based on your current enrollment. After the semester officially starts and attendance/enrollment is verified, any financial aid will move from an authorized status to a disbursed status on your CSU student account (the authorized notation will disappear). Once disbursed to your CSU student account, if you have a credit balance or overpayment, it will be disbursed (forwarded) to BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc. within 14 days. When CSU’s portion of the refund process is complete and the funds are ready to be forwarded to BankMobile Disbursements, the credit balance will disappear from your CSU account. BankMobile Disbursements will disburse your refund to you via your chosen refund preference and will notify you via email. All other refunds (Non-Financial Aid) typically take between 2–4 weeks to process.

I need to use more than one credit card to pay my tuition, but the payment portal is asking me to pay everything on one card. What do I do?

Please erase the amount you are being asked to pay and type in the amount you are paying from the first credit card. You will have to do this for each different credit card.
